Oxford Debate – Innovation In Banking: REALLY Happening?

This debate will feature speakers with two very different perspectives: ex and current bankers, solid researchers with a global view and a very vocal moderator specialized in innovation in banking. What is the role of banks, and specifically their corporate venture funds? Are banks driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) or really caring? How long before we see some real disruption, where will it come from and which areas will it affect first?

Oxford Debate – Who Will Really Disrupt Payments?

Payments is by far the space with the highest number of startups and capital invested, in FinTech.
The contestants in this debate will argue two alternative views of how payments can be disrupted in the short run:
– on one side cleverly optimizing what’s there but staying within the same technological paradigms
– on the other side completely reinventing the technology and replacing it with blockchain, distributed ledgers or other not yet invented clever cryptography. Which one will be the disruptor not in 20 years, but 5 -10 years from now?
